Question Thinking of Selling 2018 Escape 19

We are going to take one last trip with our E19 in March and then probably put it up for sale.

What is the best internet site to sell it?

(This question has probably been asked a million times, but with the changing market I was just wondering.)

What is the best way to price it?

(I do not like the idea of trying to match the highest price someone else is selling theirs for - so hard to judge the condition of the unit from a web post. There has to be a reasonable way to price a used Escape, I just don't have a clue what it would be.)

We have a "4 sale Section" on this forum where it would probably sell within hours, if history is any indication. As far as price, compare a new unit comparably equipped and compare to what you paid and then pick something in between....

I second that.

Since the trailer is pretty new, if everything is working, I think you can expect to sell for approximately what you paid for.

I'm sure the members of this site would love it if you'd give them first crack at it. The chance of it not selling for a more-than-satisfactory price within a few days of the listing are approximately 0.3% . As mentioned, the amount you paid is a good starting point.

In this market, just let people know where you'll be camping and you probably won't even have to tow it home!

When I sold my 21 last fall, it was lightly optioned , but had electrical and interior upgrades, new tires, meticulous maintenance and in perfect shape. I priced it new in 2021 sold it for a couple thousand under that. I could have gotten the new price or more. I liked the trailer and the people I sold it too. Seemed like the right transaction. While I’m not a whoohoo kind of guy, I do sort of try to,live by the golden rule. Seems to have brought me joy. I got 4 years of camping and got my money out of it without gouging. By the way I sold it on the Escape pre owned site and was pleasantly surprised by the experience.

I sold my 2011 - 17B in December; I mentioned plan to sell to a group of friends who'd been hearing me for months agonize about ending my camping life.......and, a couple in the group bought it!
I used the FiberglassRV site to fix price; they have a 'sold' section with prices.
In December, my friends researched and found no Escapes for sale. You'll have no trouble and this is the season is coming up.

Thank you

Thanks for all the replies. Won’t be in OK or TX. In CA now, heading for OR, then WA.

We have decided to sell, but will wait until home to list it and show the build sheet.

I-40 and many roads in CA and AZ are in terrible shape. Looks like 10 years work ahead to fix that problem, let alone bridges and water and waste systems and internet access.

Not sure what pronoun to use for Congress.

Watch for the listing this weekend.
